    What Should I Do About My Family? They Don't Understand What I'm Going Through

    When my mother was yelling at me with hyperacusis and kicking me out that is when I called her Australia's favourite word. Sadly, this might be my last post as I finally got the courage and now just need to wait until the cocktail works (hopefully it is the right dosage). So much for being a...

    Self-Inflicted Barotrauma

    Hey everyone, This is probably a really bad idea, but I've noticed when I cup/slap my left ear (the one that developed tinnitus recently) it makes my T disappear for about ten minutes, but then it comes back. I tried it with the ear that's had T for a decade, and all it did was make my ear...

    Slap to My Ear... Will That Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    @Herlinde Nope. And that's what makes it so scary, because I don't know if my entire recovery is ruined because of this one stupid slap, because its now 2 weeks from that day, and my left ear sometimes still whines in the silence when my right ear momentarily goes quiet, though I don't know if...

    Any earmuff that advertises over 33db NRR is probably bogus and exaggerating their ratings.

    People partake in BDSM, slap each other's asscheeks, kiss each other's glory holes, make out, have the horizontal leap frog on a daily basis, sometimes twice a day - with nasty ass food sometimes. Of course I'll be plenty of fine with a little spit on my spit. EDIT: WHY AM I IN HERE. THIS IS SO...

    How Does GABA Affect the Brain Differently Than GABA Receptors?

    Gabapentin is basically a GABA molecule, the sort that comes in food supplements I'd guess, onto which they probably slap a hexane ring or something to make it liposoluble. That would help it cross the blood brain barrier and make it work its magic. Your typical synthesized, basic GABA molecules...

    Why Is There Such a Stigma About Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

    ...out of me if they tried, they wouldn’t experiment, I can basically zone out when faced with extreme amounts of stress, my job taught me this but I’m not sure how this helps my tinnitus situation. You could slap my face and scream at me, spit at me my vitals won’t change but I sure don’t...

    Low Frequency Tinnitus

    Maybe just a good old slap on the ear should give him a little taste of what we face daily, you know.. Just for fun.. :-) Joking apart I feel for you... What about making him listen for 5 minutes to a T sound through some headphones so maybe he can understand a little better and maybe be a...

    Stupid Stupid Fluttering.

    No medication specifically related to tinnitus. If I lightly slap tap on my ear my ear rings responsively. If I whistle, my ear rings responsively. The sounds of bass are distorted. Sounds such as air conditioners or heaters running through a house are distorted. Voices have a distorted echo to...

    What else can it be? The only time I listened to headphones was in late January 2020 and it wasn't even particularly loud over a month period. Anxiety can't cause tinnitus on its own, right? You need hearing loss. I also did an MRI and it was clean. Here is my audiogram from January 2021...

    Tinnitus Spike from a Palm Slamming a Table

    Visited family on Saturday (COVID-19-safe, they all already had it) and we played a card game where if you drew a certain card you had to slap the table.

    Ringing in Ear From Head Slap
